Great value and prefect location..
Great little hotel minutes from kings cross station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels. The hotel itself is very quiet but can occasionally hear noise from the street but it didn't bother us. Very good value, would highly recommend.

Stayed 3 nights. Going by the size of the room it was about right. Had an en-suite . The room was really clean, towels everyday, and the cleaning staff were excellent. Great location, by Kings Cross, would use the hotel again for a short stay.

Old out of date hotel. Needs gutting and starting again. Sharing showers and toilets are a thing of the past. They crammed as many rooms in to make profit which was not put back into the property

all was good but no breakfast service as advertised.
The hotel was clean and staff friendly and accommodating. The area is the big draw, close to EVERYTHING. You can walk or take the tube. Would definitely return.

The hotel was exactly as I required. Within a few minutes walk from Kings Cross Station, in a quiet location, later in the day. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The staff member on duty was helpful in giving me directions for the area and my onward travel.
